I’ve been trying to get into playing some old games I’ve either missed out on or have completely forgot I’ve even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can’t settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can’t settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what’s the best handheld experience?

    I really love my Analogue Pocket, but I (quite literally five minutes ago) just bought a Miyoo Mini Plus, for the convenience of save states everywhere.
    I fear I won’t be able to help you choose either, haha. I feel like it’s always a “struggle” between getting the most authentic experience and just convenience, really.
    The Miyoo might ultimately make it easier for you to pick up and play in short bursts, if that’s what you’re after.
